Precision-engineered biodegradable natural fibres for consistent, reliable performance.
Precision-engineered biodegradable natural fibres for consistent, reliable performance.
Coir is a naturally occurring, fibrous layer extracted from the outside of coconuts (the ‘hair’). After a long process of separation, softening and sterilisation, the husks are spun into a yarn, which is suitable for a vast array of erosion control applications.
Coir is 100% organic material…and plastic-free.
It’s a completely biodegradable fibre, unlike its synthetic counterparts. Once it has done its job - typically in 3-5 years - it completely biodegrades, enriching the soil in the process.
Coir’s production process is minimal, making it low-energy compared to plastic-based alternatives.
Its fibrous structure retains moisture (up to 10 times its own weight) which helps seeds germinate, beneath solutions like our coir netting, and reduces the need for watering in, for example, restoration projects.
Of all natural fibres, coir has the greatest tensile strength. Its fibre is high in lignin and low cellulose content, adding to its durability and resilience.
Coir is rot and mould resistant, which ensures long-lasting performance in diverse types of environments.
It can be used in environments with extremes of temperature, which means it's suitable for use in a broad range of climatic conditions.
Coir, when used in products like our Coir Rolls, can improve water quality because it absorbs excess nutrients and pollutants in aquatic environments like rivers and streams.
Coconut palms can be harvested multiple times per year, making coir a rapidly renewable resource.
Coir’s properties and performance enable us to deliver sustainable products which are not only effective erosion control solutions but also support long-term environmental maintenance, ensuring your projects are both efficient and eco-friendly.
